The limitations are,
- No voice assistant which is capable of doing much more than Microsoft's TellMe.
- Quick toggles or a unified notification center.
- Apps are not saving on the SD card.
- No Option to update store apps automatically.
- IE 11 dosen't save and remember your password for websites.
- No uploading of files through Internet Explorer 11.
- No Password protected Office document support.
- No Office Lens support for scanning documents with camera, import into Office with OCR.
- Start screen backgrounds.
- No Quiet Hours - Disable notifications during pre-selected timeframe.
- No Separate volume controls for ringtones/notifications and music/media.
- No Swipe keyboard option.
- Media editing: audio and video; Audio effects, video effects; Slow motion video.
- Xbox Music and Xbox Video as standalone apps instead of the Music + Video Hub (allowing more updates to be pushed).
- An App to monitor which apps draw the most power.
- Downloading media from internet explorer.
These limitations are very important to combat with if Microsoft wants to progress,well i just would pop the bubble and tell you guys that these is the feature list of windows phone 8.1 update! surprised?
If you didn't you probably are! As these features will come in , windows phone will be able to compete with android or ios in a more efficient manner other than the app store which is actually increasing very fast! So you still think that windows phone will remain the same as it is now? The answer would be definitely a big NO!
A lot of people like windows phone but they buy android or IOS just because of these limitations make them think that what if they don't like it! Well, now after the update, it won't be the same and windows phone fans will rejoice as these features come to all phones including the low budget one like the lumia 520!
The important thing that i noticed here is that microsoft actually learned after what happened with wp7 as they didn't bring wp8 update to them and a lot of people switched back to android or any other os!
I guess this is it for this post, i hope you liked it! Thank you for reading, comments are welcome as always!

Very true!! Microsoft neglected their loyal WP7.5 customers which was one of the major reasons why people switched to android or ios (including myself). Hope a continous support to WP8 devices for generations to come just like apple to their ios would help them win back the lost share!!
